We moved home again - to Claydon

We've now left Cropredy and the Brasenose behind for a while. In a day which started wet but ended up in a fine Autumn breeze with hints of sun and lots of blue sky, we travelled north again. Elizabeth helped with Cropredy Lock and then took Blossom to Reg for a spot of car hopping again. She drove to Claydon (discovered there is no Post Office), then cycled back to Pete, Bella and Josie, happily moored up at Bridge 150, Broadmoor Bridge before Broadmoor Lock. We don't think this is where the prison is... Pete had coffee ready, then we all (except Reg, of course) starting working our way north. It is good to be on the move again!!! And now that Pete's back is better, Elizabeth and Pete started swapping lock work again. Elizabeth forgot how much she enjoyed the slow rise of Bella up the lock. It is a wonderful sensation to drive into a lock and only see the sky and slimy walls and then to gently have the scenery come into view. Causes one to smile! We're now moored up on thin band, but at least connected, on the pound between locks 19 & 18 in the Claydon flight. For those of you who don't know, or couldn't recall, the 'pound' is the water between locks. And no, we don't know why. As soon as we were moored, Elizabeth re-located Reg and found a Post Office in Upper Boddington. As quintessentially English as its name.
